In this paper, we have implemented UPnP Devices which emulate a Control Point, a Light Controller, and a Digital TV. The Control Point has been developed on Linux host system by using C language. The UPnP Devices emulating the Digital TV and Light Controller are running on embedded linux developer board. For the development of UPnP Devices, UPnP SDK API Vl.04 made by Intel Co. Ltd. has been ported on Assabet Linux Reference board to implement the UPnP protocol. After we analyze and design some services of Digital TV device, we have applied UPnP Device program to those devices. UPnP SDK vl .04 consists of APIs which support HTTP, SSDP, SOAP, GENA and XML DOM Level-1 that are cores of UPnP protocol. The C program written for the UPnP Control Point has been compiled and executed on Linux-based PC. The embedded system running on Embedded Linux OS has been connected all together through Ethernet which allows IP-based communications. Under this environment, the UPnP programs are being executed on each device. Control Point, when in operational mode, discovers UPnP Devices on the network and displays the device list on the consol. By selecting one of the functionalities of the device services that are displayed on the Control Point, the controllability has been accomplished. The experiment that we performed in this thesis have revealed that the Control Point and UPnP Devices have supported the protocols including SSDP, SOAP, GENA, and DHCP.

In this paper, we propose the technical considerations for the rules on television white space(TVWS), that becomes a center of public notice, in terms of incumbent services protection, technical requirements of television band devices (TVBDs) and administration of TV band databases. The basic idea behind the proposed method is based on the perfect protection of incumbent services such as digital television and wireless microphone. It has been found that FCC's approach has the advantage that a list of available channels and transmission power are provided for TVBDs faster than Ofcom's approach that requires DB to perform the algorithm for determining frequencies and transmission power for TVBDs everytime DB is asked from TVBDs.

국내 케이블TV는 이날로그방송 뿐만 아니라 디지털방송, 주문형 비디오, 초고속 인터넷, 양방향 서비스, 인터넷 전화 등의 다양한 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 하지만 종편, 보도, 홈쇼핑 등의 신규 채널 증가와 방송 통신 융합에 따른 다양한 양방향 서비스 도입, 시속적인 HD채널 확대 등으로 헌재 사용 가능한 주파수가 매우 부족한 상황으로 3DTV, UHDTV, 인터넷 기반방송 등의 차세대 방송 서비스 제공을 위한 주파수 확보 방안 마련 이 매우 시급하게 필요한 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 국내 케이블TV의 주파수 이용 현황 및 신규 주파수 수요 전망을 예측하고 다양한 효율적인 주파수 해결 방법을 모색하고 단계적으로 해결 방법을 적용하여 주파수를 확보하는 효율적인 주파수 이용방안에 대해서 기술하였다.

Reliable spectrum sensing algorithm is a fundamental component in cognitive radio. In this paper, a non-cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm which needs only one cognitive radio node named CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) Jacobi based method is proposed. The algorithm computes the eigenvalues of the sampled covariance of received signal mainly by shift and additional operations, which is suitable for hardware implementation. Based the latest random matrix theory (RMT) about the distribution of the limiting maximum and minimum eigenvalue ratio, the relationship between the probability of false alarm and the decision threshold is derived. Simulations and discussions show the method is effective. Real captured digital television (DTV) signals and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) are also employed to evaluate the performance of the algorithm, which prove the proposed algorithm can be applied in practical spectrum sensing applications.

Since the digital TV signal band is very wide ($54{\sim}806MHz$), the VCO used in the frequency synthesizer must also have a wide frequency tuning range. Multiple LC VCOs have been used to cover such wide frequency band. However, the chip area increases due to the increased number of integrated inductors. In this paper, a scheme is proposed to cover the full band using only one VCO. The RF VCO block designed using a 0.18um CMOS process consists of a wideband LC VCO, five divide-by-2 circuits and several buffers. The simulation results show that the designed circuit has a phase noise at 10kHz better than -87dBc/Hz throughout the signal band and consumes 10mA from a 1.8V supply.

In this paper, we propose a phase offset estimation algorithm which is based on turbo coded digital broadcasting system. The phase estimator is an estimator outside turbo code decoder using LMS (Least Mean Square) algorithm to estimate the phase of next state. While the conventional LMS algorithm with a fixed step size is easy implemented, it has weak points that are difficult the channel estimation and tracking in the multipath environment. To resolve this problem, we propose new phase offset estimation method with a variable step size LMS (VS-LMS). Additionally, we propose a scheme which consists of a conventional LMS. The performance is verified by computer simulation according to a fixed phase offset and a increased phase offset, the proposed algorithm improve the bit error rate performance than the conventional algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an image downscaler used in multimedia video applications, such as DTV, TV-PIP, PC-video, camcorder, videophone and so on. The proposed image downscaler provides a scaled image of high-quality and high-performance. This paper will explain the scaling theory using two-dimensional digital filters. It is the method that removes an aliasing noise and decreases the hardware complexity, compared with Pixel-drop and Upsamling. Also, this paper will prove it improves scaling precisians and decreases the loss of data, compared with the Scaler32, the Bt829 of Brooktree, and the SAA7114H of Philips. The proposed downscaler consists of the following four blocks: line memory, vertical scaler, horizontal scaler, and FIFO memory. In order to reduce the hardware complexity, the using digital filters are implemented by the multiplexer-adder type scheme and their all the coefficients can be simply implemented by using shifters and adders. It also decreases the loss of high frequency data because it provides the wider BW of 6MHz as adding the compensation filter. The proposed downscaler is modeled by using the Verilog-HDL and the model is verified by using the Cadence simulator. After the verification is done, the model is synthesized into gates by using the Synopsys. The synthesized downscaler is Placed and routed by the Mentor with the IDEC-C632 0.65${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ library for further IC implementation. The IC master is fixed in size by 4,500${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$4,500${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The active layout size of the proposed downscaler is 2,528${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$$\times$3,237${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

본 논문은 개인별 프로그램 선호도와 채널 선호도를 기반으로 프로그램을 추천해주는 선호프로그램편성표를 구성하여 이를 효과적으로 보여주는 사용자인터페이스(UI) 모델을 제안한다. 현재 개인 맞춤화 전자프로그램가이드(PEPG)에 대한 다양한 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 주로 추천 알고리즘 연구에 그 초점이 맞춰져 있는 실정이다. 동일한 추천 알고리즘에 의해 추출된 프로그램이라 할지라도 정렬 순서와 디스플레이 방법에 따라 편성표를 이용하는 사용자의 용이성이 달라질 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 추천 알고리즘에 의해 추출된 프로그램들의 선호도에 현재시간 기준으로 가중치를 부과하여 그 프로그램들의 선호도를 합산한 값으로 정렬한 편성표를 구성하였다. 이러한 선호프로그램편성표는 시청자가 가장 선호하는 프로그램과 채널이 최우선으로 보여지게 되므로 쉽고 빠르게 원하는 프로그램을 찾아갈 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 따라서, 사용자는 원하는 프로그램이 시작할 때까지 기다리거나 하는 시간의 낭비없이 시청이 가능하다. 본 논문을 통해 향후 등장하게 될 많은 개인 맞춤화된 서비스들을 개발하는데 도움이 될 수 있길 바란다.

Currently, 3DTV technologies are being developed as the future services of the HD digital broadcast environment. As one of the various research topics to apply 3DTV technologies to the conventional broadcasting network, methods to configure stereoscopic videos are being studied. In this paper, we proposed a method to broadcast high quality stereoscopic videos based on analysis of a method to add a stereoscopic descriptor to the PMT of MPEG-2 transport streams and a method to transmit stereoscopic videos by the expansion of MPEG-C part 3 which are from precedent studies. The proposed technique maintains compatibility with conventional MPEG-2 transport streams by showing only reference video for models that do not support 3D broadcasting. Therefore, the compatibility between conventional broadcasting and stereoscopic videos should make this method useful when activating 3D services in the communications and broadcasting area
